Cucumber Gratin

Peel the potato, wash and cut into 1cm cubes.

Peel the cucumber, wash it and cut it in half. Remove the seeds, cut the cucumber into 1cm cubes.

Put all ingredients in the steam basket. Make sure the pieces of cucumber are placed at the bottom, they need less cooking than the potatoes and the steam comes from the top of the basket.

Pour water into the tank (level 3) and start cooking.

Preheat oven to 200° C

Mix the cucumber and the potato and place in a baking dish.

Cover with grated cheese.

Put the dish in the oven for 15 minutes.

Chef’s tip

Cooked cucumber is unusual in our culinary culture, but it is much less so in Asia!

For the nutrition conscious

Make sure to remove the cucumber seeds, they are difficult to digest and can cause colic in babies.

As a replacement for those intolerant to lactose

Completely remove the cheese. In doing so, the cream becomes a puree. If you do wish to include this little tasty, crispiness added by the cheese, sprinkle oatmeal or buckwheat on the vegetables and put in the oven.
